I'm still constantly weirded out by Destin when he talks about anything relating to personal life. Gives me "creepy preacher that beats his children for not saying yes sir" vibes
Glad she is doing better and has a very supportive spouse.
He is catholic, which honestly given his content I find strange.. I've never understood how people can maintain their religions in such a field.
I'm not sure how religious he is, but it must be very to maintain it after all of his research and education.
Religon and science aren't necessarily incompatible. Some religons say a higher power did stuff and it happened "because they're god, science is witchcraft" Some religions say a higher power did stuff "because they're god" and science is just figuring out how they did it.
Knowing how stuff happened doesn't necessarily make a higher power impossible, nor less powerful. It's just cool.
Yeah I've heard that before, it's just rare to see these days for someone in his field. This specific topic can turn into a massive debate as it always has been, so I'd like to respectfully avoid that.
All I'm saying is, he must have some super strong convictions.
The big bang theory was first posited by a Catholic priest called Georges Lemaître
He also doesn’t necessarily need to believe in any higher power. You can still practice your religion and practice the traditions of your religion and take the parts that feel good or make good in your eyes and still practice science.
You can also believe in higher power but just don't consider or think about whats contradictory.
